The petition urging legal changes ensuring that the Croatian Army uses the 
chant 'Za dom spremni' ('Ready for the homeland') at military parades was sent 
on Monday to Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic and the leader of the 
centre-right opposition Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ party. The 'Za dom 
spremni' slogan was introduced and used by the Nazi-aligned Independent State 
of Croatia during WWII, particularly by the notorious elite volunteer units of 
the Ustasa movement ... The organisers claimed that the petition was signed by 
some well-known public figures, academics, Catholic bishops, academics, former 
politicians and professional athletes.
